Experiment 5 Data Sheet 1

This document describes an experiment on water purification and dissolved oxygen determination. It discusses different water purification methods including aeration, coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration. It classifies these methods as physical, chemical, or biological treatments. It also describes how each method removes different water pollutants. The document then discusses how dissolved oxygen levels in water relate to organic pollutants. Specifically, more organic pollutants mean more microorganisms consuming oxygen and lowering dissolved oxygen concentrations. Finally, it identifies three key factors that affect dissolved oxygen levels: air circulation, photosynthesis by aquatic plants, and temperature.

Enumerate the different types of water pollutants that can be removed by the different water
purification methods.

Water Purification Methods Water Pollutants Eliminated


Dissolved gases and also oxidizes dissolved metal (such
Aeration
as iron)
Coagulation Dissolved organic carbon
Sedimentation sediments
Filtration impurities
Disinfection Chlorine and bacteria

B. Dissolved Oxygen Measurements

Explain the relationship between the amounts of organic pollutants and the concentration of
the dissolved oxygen in water.

Natural poisons are the remaining parts of any ex-living life forms which can enter
pretty much anything, beginning from waterways which then, at that point, becomes
accustomed to give sustenance to grass, then, at that point, grass becomes nourishment
for the creatures then, at that point, the microbes that are in the natural squanders
eliminates the DOs from the water when they breathe. In the end, the more natural
poisons there are, the more microscopic organisms there are. In this manner, when there
is more microscopic organisms, they utilize more oxygen, which implies the DO focus will
drop.

Give at least three factors that affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water? Briefly
explain each factor.

Air circulation is a factor that influences the centralization of disintegrated oxygen in


water because of its interaction of expanding the degree of DO with the presence of
wind that causes exercises on the waterways like waves, rapids, cascades, and different
types of running water. The course of photosynthesis by oceanic plants like green
growth, kelp and other oceanic plants produces disintegrated oxygen as its waste, so
bigger amounts of amphibian plants implies a more focused degree of DO in water.
Temperature is likewise a factor, this is because of the increment of temperature of the
water making the oxygen atoms to acquire normal energy and being equipped for
conquering the potential that keeps them in the water while the abatement of

temperature results the addition of broke up oxygen on the grounds that water particles
are nearer together in chilly water which makes it harder for the oxygen particle to get
away from the surface.
